Jerry Salinger speaking. They just towed my car--

"After getting a second call, in just a few days, from a writer needing money -- this one purportedly from English writer Nick Hornby -- Book Soup's Tosh Berman didn't hesitate to cut him off. 'Almost exactly from the script he said, "I'm embarrassed to be calling you like this, but I'm at the airport. . . ."

'He really managed the accent,' Berman said of the Hornby impersonator. 'I almost fell for it. But I didn't take that trip.'

Berman speculated that this gang has several members -- one black man, one English guy, one woman -- to make impersonation easier. 'It's like the Mod Squad or something.'

Vroman's has hung up on someone claiming to be Ray Bradbury and, in late February, Ramos said, Russell Banks."
